Big Law

A term used by law students and those in the legal profession to refer to large private firms in the US. These firms are typically located in NYC, Chicago, or Washington DC and have impressive multi-million dollar offices in skyscrapers, complete with full libraries that are rarely used. Many law students initially aspire to work for a Big Law firm.

The seduction:

> Six-figure salaries, as much as $150k right out of school
> Internship during school, which mostly involves a reduced workload with lavish lunches and trips to baseball games
> Company perks, like leased Beamers or season tickets to MLB or NBA games

The reality:

> 2500 to 3000 billable hours, which translates to 80-90 hour work weeks
> 7am-7pm five days a week, often half day on Saturday, so you don't have time to use your Knicks tickets anyway
> Over 33 percent drop-out rate among first-year associates, up to two-thirds quit by third year
> Lawyers have one of the highest rates of alcoholism and depression among all professions, and this is especially prevalent in big private law firms

1L: I want to work in Big Law so I can buy a boat and drive a BMW 745i

3-year associate: I'll gladly trade you mine in exchange for the last three years of my 20s back

Rattles' Law

Man 1: "Eeewww man, how come whenever I look up scat the girls are always ugly as hell?"
Man 2: "It is called "Rattles' law". Try looking up normal stuff

Heddon's Law

Only people who are uglier then you are attracted to you.

John - "Man, I wish some actually attractive chicks would be interested in me for once."
Tim - "Heddon's Law in action man."

"Mark really likes me, but he is an ugly fuck. Why couldn't he be hot like Jason?"
"Heddon's Law at it's finest."

The Law of Averages

The Law of Averages is a layman's term used to describe the belief that the results of any given event "work out" or "even out" over a set of trials in the short run.

The LoA's assumes that balance will always occur within a small sample.

Essentially, it is the belief that a rare occurrence will happen given enough time and is similar to the shotgun effect

1) If you flip a coin 10 times, the Law of Averages states that 5 flips will be heads, and the other 5 flips will be tails.

2) If you apply to enough Universities, the Law of Averages states that you will eventually get into atleast one.

Blair's Law

Coined by Australian journalist, Tim Blair as "the ongoing process by which the world's multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force."

Blair's Law is universal, applying across all cultures across all time even if some localised manifestations may not be immediately recognisable by those outside that location in the space-time continuum (see example 5)

5. Couldnโ€™t help thinking of Blair's Law following the arrest of John Hopoate at a nightclub owned by John Ibrahim and Kyle Sandilands....(Australia)
